Hey FCC: Don't Sacrifice Network Neutrality to Content Owners

[Commentary] Proposed Network Neutrality regulations rules have a gaping "copyright loophole." They exempt any activity designed to block copyright infringement. This is a problem.

A major reason for Network Neutrality rules in the first place is to prevent Internet service providers from doing unreasonable things, like throttling bittorrent, in the name of making the world safe from copyright infringement. There is no reason to specifically exempt attempts to block copyright infringement from Network Neutrality rules. This is because the rules do not apply to copyright infringement. The rules specifically refer to lawful activity, which does not include copyright infringement. In fact, that is why the Network Neutrality rules are so important.
